We have had a pretty good one ourselves. This past Saturday we were able to enjoy some time out at a business expo at Alamo Palms. We had so much fun talking to the Winter Texans that visited the expo. Some shared how long they have been coming to the Valley. One gentleman shared that he had been in the same park, same home, for over 20 years. Another shared that she had been coming to the Valley since the 70s. Originally coming to the Valley to visit her parents. It’s fun to hear about how much you enjoy the Valley and everything else you get to do and see while you are here. People talked about the news, how the calendar helps them decide where to go, and the places they get to visit and know about because of the paper, our Visitors Guide, or what they learn from fellow Winter Texans.

Among the variety of festive and reflective activities happening in our Hidalgo County area is the second annual “Walking Southern Roads to Freedom.” The 65-mile, seven-day walk experience shared by many in 2025 was truly inspiring and memorable as asymbolic pilgrimage in honor of enslaved African descendants fleeing south in pursuit of safe havens in the Rio Grande Valley and in the border cities of Mexico. The walk also focused attention on those who opened their hearts and homes to freedom-seekers, sheltering some and transporting others safely across the Rio Grande. This year’s “Freedom Walk” will be shorter in duration and distance. Beginning on Friday morning, February 27, the three-day (24 miles total) walk will start in the City of Alamo, and end in the City of Reynosa, Mexico on March 1. Representatives from the Harriet Tubman Museum and Educational Center in Cambridge, MD will return to the Rio Grande Valley for the second annual “Walking Southern Roads to Freedom” event. Dr. Raymond Howard, founder of the South Texas African Heritage Network (STAHN) said the event’s goal is to “increase awareness about the resilience and resolve of freedom seekers of African ancestry who participated in underground railroad-like activities from south Texas to Mexico, as well as bring awareness to the valuable shared history of our region.” He said the plans for the second annual walk began immediately after the success of last year’s event. Several local community groups that are preserving the Valley’s rich history concerning people of color continue to be actively involved in planning the event. Linda Harris, director of programming activities at the Harriet Tubman Museum Educational Center, has organized many “walks to freedom” events in several states. She will return to the Rio Grande Valley again this year to walk the pathways to freedom to honor those who dared to be free. This year, participants will walk 24 miles during the three days. The walk will include several historic sites and landmarks within Hidalgo County, such as City of Alamo Central Park, the Webber Ranch Cemetery, the Jackson Ranch Church and Eli Jackson cemetery. During the walk, participants will also learn important aspects of Black history. Each day will end with moments of reflection, songs and friendship. The event will begin with a celebration and concert at Bethel Garden Park in the La Paloma neighborhood in McAllen on Thursday evening, February 26 at 6:30 p.m. The event will end with the crossing of the international bridge to commemorate Mexico’s role in the underground walk to freedom. Participants will cross the Hidalgo-McAllen International Bridge and to the City of Reynosa to offer friendship across the border and learn more about successful freedom efforts on March 1.

The seminar will take place on Saturday, February 28, from 10 to 11:45 a.m. at the Edinburg Conference Center at Renaissance, located at 118 Paseo del Prado in Edinburg. Doors open at 9:50 a.m. The seminar will be led by Dr. Juan Torres-Reveron, neurosurgeon at DHR Health, who will discuss how deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is being used to help people better manage symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement. He will also share information about the latest advancements in DBS technology, including the Percept™ DBS system with BrainSense™ technology, which allows doctors to better personalize treatment for each patient. “For people living with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor, daily life can be unpredictable,” said Dr. Torres-Reveron. “This seminar is about giving our community education, hope, and a better understanding of the options that are available today. New technology is allowing us to tailor treatment in ways that may help patients maximize the time they feel their best.” Deep brain stimulation therapy uses a small, implanted device, similar to a pacemaker, to send gentle electrical signals to specific areas of the brain that control movement. This therapy may help reduce certain symptoms and improve quality of life, especially for patients who are no longer getting enough relief from medication alone. The free seminar is open to community members who want to learn more for themselves or for a loved one. Registration is encouraged and can be completed by visiting http:// tiny.cc/Feb282026.
